Security Deposit For rentals

Charles Hetrick
Posted
I just recently purchased a house that I’m going to use as rental property. This is my first one and have some questions. 1. How much should you charge for security. 2. Where can you get credit scores and rental background checks from and is there a fee ? 3 What is the going rate for two bedroom house. No a/c and no garage. Big backyard Thanks for the help !
